Excerpt from Religion and LifeEven in institutions that claim to be Christian the fundamental things of a religious intelligence are all too often but lightly dealt with. It is often assumed that young minds still start with the pre suppositions of the past, whereas, in fact, the teachings of certain classrooms in that same institution may have worked havoc with all those presuppositions. It is to thoughtful men and women who are not in any sense specialists on the fields here touched upon that these chapters are written, and the hope is that they may give a point of view from which a fruitful study of religion is possible. Great conden sation has been aimed at, and many longer expositions have been sacrificed to keep the book within certain limits both of compass and of price. May the reading of these pages strengthen intelligent faith and lead to a vital union with God's purpose as re vealed in the person and work of Christ Jesus our Lord.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
